I did 20 years of hard time with my previous employer. They froze the pension plan in 2006, nevertheless, I am still eligible for a pension based on all my service up to that point. I am eligible to begin receiving a reduced monthly amount at age 55, or wait and receive the full monthly benefit at age 65. Additionally, there is an option to receive a partial lump sum in lieu of monthly payments. I have not yet contacted the company to look into the lump sum option. What are the calculations and considerations given to taking a lump sum vs. monthly benefit? Thank you in advance, RS |
